Calling all May 2008 Brides


Recommended Posts

About 3 months to go!!! I hate that some days feel like you're almost done and other's like you've done nothing at all! And whatâ€s worse, Iâ€ve started second guessing myself like "maybe I should change this to that"!! doh.gif

 

 

What Iâ€ve Done:

- booked our flights & hotel stay

- booked hotel stay for bridal party (our very expensive gift to them)

- booked location for ceremony/reception/welcome dinner (all in resort)

- booked photographer/dj/minister

- booked florist/guitarist/cake (through resort)

- booked hair and makeup appointment

- bought dress, shoes, wedding band, some accessories

- bridesmaids dresses are in: fittings in Mid-March for completion by April

- groomsmen have reserved rental suits for final fittings in April; bought ties

- OOT boxes are done and tagged

- seashell placecard holderâ€s are ribboned with our names & wedding date; our BP are taking instant polaroids of all guests for each holder as a favor

- unity candle/guestbook/pen customized with small starfish and sand ceremony shells purchased

- invitations done & sent out (i couldnt wait until february lol)

- purchased shells/starfish/candles for centerpieces to be filled with beach sand (hopefully WC still has the vases I need)

- table numbers purchased, programs & placecards bought

 

 

Need To Do & Almost Done:

- find “reception shirt†and shoes for FI and groomsmen

- find accessories & shoes for bridesmaids (parasols purchased)

- find wedding band for FI

- figure out seating for tables as RSVP's come in

- print out the programs, welcome letter, and placecards

- finish “must play†songs for DJ

- finish “must take†pictures for photographer

- buy our outfits for welcome dinner

- book mariachi for welcome dinner (budget pending)

- buy clothes for our overall stay

- meet with all vendors

- tasting/setup preview upon arrival

- set up marriage license and judge appointment here in the US before leaving to Cabo (already started research)

- work on vows/toasts

- tone up!!!! Iâ€m so soft lol

- attend my final fittings between March-April

Don't Feel Bad I Have Not Done Too Much Myself. I Am Having A Problem. Need Some Help. We Verbally Invited Family & Friends Who We Wanted & Thought Would Come. My Sister Thinks We Should Send Invitations And List Our Registry. I On The Other Hand Feel Like That Is Tacky. Should I Just Send Announcements Or What? Does Anyone Have A Solution? Thanks.

omg, mine are all last minute sad.gif - I have some people in my wedding party who haven't even booked yet! I sent out invites today, so we'll see if that helps. The RSVP date is Feb 29th. I hope 2 months will give me enough time to do the OOT stuff! I have about 70 booked so far, but expect around 100-120 to actually come, so that is a big margin I can't just guess about (although I guessed for the pashminas). What I really need to do is go register. Ugh1

Ok, I feel weird. I have almost no stress. I still have things to do, but all of the *big* things are done. I feel like I should be stressing out with less than 3 months to go, but really I'm not... and I'm not really getting anything done (at least lately I haven't!). Maybe it'll all kick in soon and I'll go into super-stress mode!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
